Hi everyone!

I entrusted Airtable as part of my career (business plan) and now, I’ve encountered a significant issue at my workplace.

My customers are salesmen and they utilize quick ‘CTRL+F’ buttons to find our products on our Airtable. If they don’t, they go to another vendor and we lose that sale.

1,000 record view  limit banner with button on right

 

I understand they can press ‘Load all records’, but unfortunately not all of my customers are fluent with computers and/or want to deal with pressing ‘Load all records’ all the time, so we’d just lose the sale entirely.

I notice this pops up ONLY when I am logged in. HOWEVER, when not logged in and/or viewing via a link... the banner is not there and all inventory shows as normal.

 

Unfortunately, as a good Airtable patron that I am, I made our customers sign up and now they can’t see the inventory we sell.
 

CTRL+F limit

 

I’ve consulted Google Gemini to no avail, and I’d like to say we’re losing a significant proportion of our sales.

Hey ​@sunny12,

I see how that can be an issue. You will probably want to reach out to support@airtable.com with this isse, to see if there is any way of setting that latest release OFF by default. Also, you might want to submit this as a feature request if support mentions there is no way of doing so.

    Perhaps you could try moving to Interfaces for this?  I have a view that gets hit with the ‘Load all records’ thing as well, I recreated the view in Interfaces and that loaded up all the data.  No idea how long this’ll last I’m afraid

    You’re going to have to ask everyone to use the new link though which is...less than ideal

    This issue highlights a usability gap in Airtable where the 1,000-record limit can directly impact sales, especially for non-technical users, making public or shared views a more reliable option than requiring customer logins.
